Celebrating victories for the week: My current work portfolio is vast and diverse. From marketing and brand strategies for my department, website optimization, forging stakeholder relationships, social media management, content creation (hence the camera in this shot below 😉), events management, all the way to designing marketing collateral. Prioritizing my work accordingly and overcoming red tape can be challenging, but I'm the type of person that gets things done ✔️. So in order to ensure my efficiency, I need to teach myself and perfect new skills every now and then. So this week, I am celebrating a victory in graphic design, a skill I learnt earlier in the year but have dreaded due to my perfectionism syndrome… (story for another day). I took some time to acknowledge how my design output has drastically improved in quality, quantity, and time taken to complete so as I wrap up the week, I celebrate this milestone. Join me in celebrating our wins together! Share your win this week in the comments or do a happy dance in your corner. No matter how you choose to celebrate, just celebrate it. Remember, celebrating wins is like fuel for our motivation engine. Cheers to your victories, and to embracing every challenge as a chance to shine brighter! 🌟🥂 #day4of20 #20daylinkedinchallengewithhaoma #tgif #celebratingvictories #marketingchronicles #highlights

Why the switch from teaching Postagrid to done for you services? Because Postagrid is soooo much more than a stunning looking grid. Teaching the basic skills and strategies gets incredible results (far from basic), yet there is so much more Postagrid can accomplish. Since day one, I have talked about all the things Postagrid can be. • a billboard • a game • a calendar • an infographic • a visual poem • a storyboard • a brochure Over the years, I have developed concepts and processes that make Postagrid a phenomenally powerful and solution for bold and decisive businesses. It is infinitely seamless with no “rows of three” or “grids of nine”. Individual posts work as usual – whether carousel, reel, animated, or static. While the grid takes on a whole new dimension. It really can BE anything: Imagine an event with an interactive brochure that promotes the event, gets people engaging during (and after) the event, and doesn’t use any special tech or custom apps. Not only do your attendees (whether virtual or in person) get to build connections and learn about the event, but their engagement generates reach. More and more people get to see your brand in action. So that your next event is bigger than ever.

Last week was a busy one for us as we tackled a variety of projects and started planning some exciting new initiatives. 📸 Firstly, we created some product shots for a new online brand.

We emphasised the importance of getting an outside perspective to help improve our strategies, identify blind spots, and ultimately drive better results. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eE-BzVcr Overall, it was a productive week filled with creativity, planning, and reflection. We're excited to see our projects come to life and continue to push the boundaries in our marketing efforts. P.s. Don't forget to get summer ready and purchase those sunnies 😎

Last week in our company MGID, we had a birthday celebration. While we couldn't gather and celebrate loudly offline, thanks to our HR team and teambuilding.com company (Michael Alexis and Tasia Duske), along with our host Nate, we had a fantastic online team-building event. We divided into teams; for instance, ours was named Ad Octopus. So, one of the tasks our team had to accomplish was to visit the website https://lnkd.in/dyMr-Hz7 and generate a word. Each team member then had to explain it to their team using only geometric terms (circle, square, line, etc.). General terms like "draw a cat" or "draw a car" were not allowed, and hand motions couldn't be used to assist. The more words guessed, the better. And of course, there were many other interesting activities! Time passed quite quickly. I'm glad there was an opportunity, even in this format, to spend time with colleagues from different departments. P.S. And when we were asked after the team-building, "What is Ad Octopus?" I'll reveal the secret to you: "Ad" stands for advertising, and "octopus" because we have enough products in the company, just like the tentacles of an octopus, to cover your monetization needs. Thanks for a good time and fun together.

What a #madfest extravaganza! A wild mix of thought-leadership, wacky innovation, networking and partying that left me doubling up my daily movement goal of 10K steps/day. Loved Liquid Death’s masterclass on how to create space in a saturated water category by behaving like a beer brand, Who Gives A Crap that toilet paper can actually be an interior design item, Mars Mitch Oliver closing recommending Marketers to “Do what’s right, not what’s popular” and of course my absolute favourite Rory Sutherland setting things straight on the Speed-fetishism in modern #marketing. Overall, my takeaway: 1. Content is King: The emphasis on high-quality, engaging content is stronger than ever. 2. #Data-Driven Decisions: Leveraging data for marketing strategies can significantly enhance campaign effectiveness. 3.#Innovation: Staying ahead of the curve requires embracing new technologies and innovative practices. 4. Networking: Building and nurturing professional relationships can lead to new collaborations and opportunities. 5. Customer #Experience: Delivering exceptional customer experiences remains a top priority for brand success. Bye MAD//FEST, you've been awesome!
